Team History book

Please keep in mind If all the team Memebers would not have ponyed up the money and Got two copies there would not be any Team Books.
Yes I bought 2 books to help support the founding of there creation.

OK. Just so anyone has any questions. There were over 1,000 copies of this book made. Most employees who bought them bought two at a price of $60 each. Those of us who bought them at the rally paid $100 a copy. I was asked if the members would care if more were produced, but when they were sold to us, we were told that would be it. Some members believed it should be stuck to, and when I passed it on, the creators said no problem.

I just wanted to make clear that these will end up on eBay constantly as workers unload them. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that most employees who bought multiples bought them precisely to exploit perceived rarity amongst guys who paid a lot of money for a car. Over a dozen have been on eBay at this point. Several have been sold on this site.

They are worth whatever you are willing pay for them, but I feel people should be armed with this knowledge. Spamming via PM to sell this stuff won't be tolerated.

Dale!
Welcome to the forum.
What is the point of your post?
Interesting that the owners paid $100 and the employees paid $60.
I bought one book for myself, how many did you buy?
Cheers!

If it's supposed to move and it doesn't - use WD40.
If it's not supposed to move and it does - use duct tape.

I agree with everyone... That being said... I have 10 copies for sale at a buy it now price of $6,000 each. They will go on eBay with a min bid of $4,000, if you are in the spirits business you will be required to fill out a credit app prior to bidding.

If I'm a priest, rabbi, minister, etc., does that cover the "spirits" business?

Mr Awsum,
Would your consider an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Bank of America? My credit score is up to 315.
Please advise. Thanks for your anticipated flexibility.
Kind regards,
Bony

Mr. Bony... I would need some type of verification that your credit score has trippled since last we spoke.

Mr. Awsum,

Please be advised that neither Mr. Bony nor Dr. Frank is in the "Spirit" business.

I run this business; and I can assure you that neither of these two "characters" work for me. I am quite sure they are independent contractors, and therefore I cannot vouch for their credit worthiness.

However, I can say that I have had many encounters with both [at some fine taverns of sorts in many locations throughout the USA] and they did in fact remain semi-coherent, thus I can provide you with a relevantly positive reference as to character.

I sincerely hope this information is of assistance during your evaluation process.

Regards,

Spirit

Dear Mr. Awsum!!

My credit score has indeed tripled, it is up to 315!
Ok, 297, got to have a little fudge factor.

I await your news.

Respectfully,
Bony
